The course is nearly two and a quarter miles in length and has 16 unique fences including the famous Bechers Brook. Today, it is watched by 600 million worldwide and the race is still as exciting as ever, drawing bigger attendances and followers for the race meeting year on year.

"The Grand National content produced for this year's race is wonderfully diverse and is a great endorsement of our channel strategy," commented Pete Russell, managing director of Player One.." Being such an iconic event with such a rich history, the available archive has allowed for the creation of some exceptional mobile content which will be enjoyed worldwide.
